Essentially this document is our plan to develop the airport strategically and in a way that captures all opportunities. Nelson Airport has a vital role to play in the success of the Nelson and Tasman regions and we need to ensure that we plan well for this opportunity. This document will be regularly reviewed and is a framework for the future. The Master Plan has reviewed growth parameters for the Runway, Apron and Terminal, Landside forecourt, Ground Transport and Landside development, enabling both aeronautical and non- aeronautical development. Globally, the traditional business model for airports has evolved to include large proportions of non-aeronautical revenues. Similarly, we want to explore how Nelson Airport can expand revenue streams, ensuring an innovative business model for the future. By 2018, we forecast over one million passengers will travel through Nelson Airport annually with just over 1.4 million passengers forecast to be travelling through Nelson by the end of the Master Plan period (2035). By Master Planning we mitigate the risk of development conflict and enable ourselves to set up the campus to achieve our strategic objectives. This planning process will benefit our customers as they travel through or work at Nelson Airport, ensuring a well-planned, efficient and friendly airport. 1.0 INTRODUCING OUR PLAN nelson airport master plan page 3 OUR VISION To be the best regional airport in New Zealand. OUR MISSION To provide safe, efficient and innovative services and facilities that support aviation growth and the economic prosperity of the Nelson Tasman region. nelson airport master plan page 4 2.0 THE KEY ELEMENTS OF THE MASTER PLAN Our Master Plan is a land use planning document that The Master Plan must review these infrastructure provides guidance to Nelson Airport Limited as it elements and plan for the impact growth will have on develops the airport. each of them. The basis of the Master Plan is the aeronautical The modern airport also provides services to the passenger forecasts. This allows Nelson Airport to passenger to improve their travel experience. There forecast the speed of growth and consequent are opportunities to develop landside support services infrastructure requirements. Investment is based on including food and beverage, a range of car parking passenger growth. offers and shopping. The operational efficiency of the airport is an Nelson Airport recognises the importance of the outcome of the main elements of infrastructure, which passenger experience and the commercial benefit of comprise: runway, apron, terminal, forecourt, these services. The Master Plan considers landside carparking and road access. All these need to be areas of the airport where development could occur to designed and managed to ensure the airport runs meet demand. smoothly. Delays at any of these points will cause delay to the airport's ability to cater to its users be they airlines or passengers. nelson airport master plan page 5 3.0 PROTECTING OUR ENVIRONMENT The Nelson Tasman region is known for its positive attitude towards protecting the environment and Nelson Airport supports this. Nelson Airport already has several environmental initiatives in place: • Split landfill / recycle bins within the airport precinct • Glass recycling within the café • 11kW solar panels on terminal roof providing an average 10% of the terminal's electricity • Replacement of streetlights with energy efficient LEDs. The new terminal design is considering the following key attributes: • Natural ventilation • Extensive use of local timber • Greater solar panel use • Flexible design • Improved accessibility for cyclists • Mechanical windows with sensors that manage CO2 levels and temperature. nelson airport master plan page 6 4.0 AERONAUTICAL FORECASTS: THE BASIS OF THE MASTER PLAN New Zealand in general is experiencing extraordinary growth in airline capacity on the back of low oil prices, 4.1.1 ESTIMATED PASSENGER & MOVEMENTS lower cost airfares and increased demand both FORECAST IMPACT domestically and internationally. Nelson Airport has benefited from this growth with additional capacity being added by airlines including Air New Zealand, Jetstar, The forecast assumes Originair, Sounds Air and Air2There. FY2021 load factors of 70% at the commencement of As a result of the work undertaken by Airbiz the Master 70 - 80% Plan forecasts passenger volumes to grow to 1.4 million the forecast increasing by 2035. Nelson Airport considers this forecast to be a to 80% by 2021. reasonable prediction of the growth that the airport and region will experience over the next 20 years. This predicted growth forms the basis of the Master Plan. 4.1 PASSENGER PROJECTIONS Source: Airbiz Sept 2015 nelson airport master plan page 7 4.1.2 AIRLINE CAPACITY PROJECTIONS FY10 FY11 FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 FY16 FY17 FY18 FY19 FY20 Total 897,481 895,332 915,536 899,176 950,043 985,900 1,136,067 1,310,500 1,305,500 1,316,500 1,350,850 Seats FY21 FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25 FY26 FY27 FY28 FY29 FY30 FY31 FY32 FY33 FY34 Total 1,442,400 1,461,150 1,479,900 1,499,900 1,519,900 1,573,800 1,592,550 1,611,300 1,630,050 1,648,800 1,703,950 1,723,950 1,743,950 1,763,950 Seats 4.1.3 MOVEMENT PROJECTIONS FY10 FY11 FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 FY16 FY17 FY18 FY19 FY20 Total 32,859 32,947 34,096 32,741 34,351 34,800 37,920 41,990 41,490 41,690 41,890 Movements FY21 FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25 FY26 FY27 FY28 FY29 FY30 FY31 FY32 FY33 FY34 Total 43,550 43,750 43,950 44,150 44,350 45,280 45,380 45,480 45,580 45,680 46,500 46,600 46,700 46,800 Movements The terminal design team is reflecting these passenger projections in their design intent and the terminal will be planned taking these forecasts into account. The runway has capacity in its current state to absorb this growth. The taxiway will have to be straightened in the future to meet demand and reconstructed to a more linear design to enable this movement projection to be absorbed with efficiency. nelson airport master plan page 8 5.0 AIRSIDE 5.1 DESIGN AIRCRAFT The Code C aircraft that operate out of Nelson are Air New Zealand and Jetstar also operate the This would greatly increase capacity which would Code C turbo props.
